Secondary School- Court Lodge . The four of us became friends in 1966 when we started our senior school . Carol, Alison Oakes , Linda Ellott and (me) Eileen James . We were very close spending hours in and out of school together. Reading jackie magazine, listening to pop music talking about boys etc. 

We became prefects in  the 5 th year ( now year 11 ).

We were a great team , once solving a small crime wave . Catching a group of troublesome girls who were stealing purses, from other pupils taking the contents and stashing the purses behind the toilet cystern . 
We lay in wait for them in the cloakroom and caught them red handed.⭐️
